BXBX NOVEL Chapter 164 - Yu Shan’s Arrival
Lin Feng’s communicator suddenly rang.
“Eh? Yu Shan, you’re already at the South Mountain Base?”
Lin Feng picked up the call. His face was filled with surprise. Wasn’t Yu Shan going to get married and have a honeymoon? Why was he at the South Mountain Base only after two months?
However, it was hard to converse through the communicator. Lin Feng simply left the secret room. Although he had yet to master the fifth level of Nonuple Body Tempering, his physique had already improved by another stretch. It would not be a problem for him to unleash 380 tons of power with his raw physical strength.
Opening the secret chamber, Lin Feng went to the living room.
“Chief Commander, an inhuman expert is reporting to the South Mountain Base outside.”
Seeing Lin Feng exit, the guard hurriedly reported to Lin Feng.
“I see. Inform the 20 battalion leaders at the base to gather in the conference hall.”
“Yes Sir.”
The guard quickly went to inform them. After the previous battle, Lin Feng’s prestige in the South Mountain Base grew even stronger, and had already far surpassed the previous Chief Commander, Zhou Yun.
Up until now, Lin Feng could be considered to have grasped the authority of the South Mountain Base. Even if he did not handle the specific matters of the base, his words were orders, and no one would question them.
When he came to the living room, Lin Feng saw Yu Shan at a glance.
The current Yu Shan appeared spirited. He looked as if he had been reborn.
“Yu Shan, why are you here?”
“Haha, why can’t I be here? Xiaoxi and I agreed to come here to help you first, and then go back for leave when we have time. I’ve more or less completed the metamorphosis over the past two months, and my strength has also improved greatly. I thought that I should be able to help you with something, so I came here. Why, am I not welcome?”
“Of course you are welcome.”
Lin Feng was also very happy. Yu Shan made it sound easy, but in reality, he had only taken two months to rush over. He probably did not even have a honeymoon.
This was a true brother!
“Yu Shan, is the metamorphosis of your body over?”
“Yes, it’s over. Two months. I checked it out too. It wasn’t very satisfactory.”
Yu Shan shook his head. Actually, physical metamorphosis usually lasted two or three months. The time taken to complete the metamorphosis might even be longer. However, completing the metamorphosis in only two months meant that Yu Shan’s physique was indeed not very strong.
Moreover, Yu Shan did not specialize in physique. Lin Feng consoled, “Yu Shan, after breaking the genetic lock, the main focus is cultivating Astral Power.”
Yu Shan nodded. In terms of strength, Yu Shan definitely could not compare to Lin Feng. He could not even compare to some senior First Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists. After all, the Astral Power in Yu Shan’s body was pitifully low. How much combat power could he unleash was still a problem.
But no matter what, he was still a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, much stronger than ordinary martial artists.
At this moment, the guard had returned. He reported respectfully to Lin Feng, “Chief Commander, the meeting has been arranged.
“All right, Yu Shan. Let’s go to the conference room and introduce you to the inhuman experts of the South Mountain Base.”
Hence, Lin Feng led Yu Shan to the conference room.
Along the way, all the martial artists who saw Lin Feng greeted Lin Feng respectfully. Lin Feng also nodded at them one by one. The sight surprised Yu Shan beside him.
“Lin Feng, looks like you’ve done well at the South Mountain Base. It’s only been two months, and you’re already so prestigious. You probably already have complete control over the situation in the South Mountain Base.”
“Haha, you know that I don’t like to deal with these mundane matters. I’m still waiting for you to help me.”
Lin Feng said with a smile. Even though he was very assured by Lu Wei, how could he be as reassuring as Yu Shan? Lin Feng did not call Yu Shan here to show off his prowess, nor for Yu Shan to be a decoration. Rather, he wanted Yu Shan to help him deal with the affairs of the South Mountain Base.
Yu Shan nodded. Originally, he had rushed to the South Mountain Base because he felt that Lin Feng’s foundation was unstable and wanted to come to help Lin Feng earlier. However, from the looks of it, Lin Feng had basically taken control of the South Mountain Base. This made Yu Shan slightly relieved.
In the conference room, the 20 battalion leaders had already arrived. They were actually discussing why Lin Feng had summoned everyone. When Lin Feng entered the conference room, everyone realized that an unfamiliar martial artist was following behind Lin Feng.
“Everyone, this is Yu Shan, who was transferred to our South Mountain Base by the higher-ups. From today onwards, he will lead a battalion alone. It would be Chen Xue’s battalion.”
Lin Feng made the call in a few words, but Lu Wei and the others did not object. Instead, they gave a kind smile.
“Brother Yu Shan, come, sit beside me. In the future, we’ll be brothers who fight alongside each other.”
“That’s right. Brother Yu Shan, you’re the first Metamorphic Realm martial artist to be transferred to our South Mountain Base in such a long time. It’s been so long that we almost suspect that the higher-ups might never deploy more inhuman experts here. This seems like a good omen now.”
“Perhaps the higher-ups will soon fill the positions for our 36 battalions.”
The martial artists in the base all welcomed Yu Shan. This enthusiastic atmosphere also made Yu Shan nod inwardly. Actually, he had already seen it when he arrived at the South Mountain Base. The entire base was huge, and there were many martial artists, but there was no internal conflict. They were all working together, and it was a scene of prosperity. This was not Yu Shan’s misconception. In reality, the current South Mountain Base was indeed very united. They all worked together and did not have any internal strife. However, this was not the case before, especially while Chen Xue was still alive. She had very much incited a batch of martial artists, causing the entire South Mountain Base to be in a “divided” state.
At that time, people were divided. No one had much confidence in the South Mountain Base, let alone a sense of belonging.
In the previous battle, Lin Feng had led all the martial artists in the South Mountain Base to repel the attacks of the Pangolin Beasts. From then on, the South Mountain Base no longer had that “divided” atmosphere. Instead, it came together and was very united.
“Yu Shan has just arrived. Everyone, do take care of him.”
Lin Feng did not mind publicizing his “care” for Yu Shan. After all, their relationship could not be concealed at all. Moreover, in the current atmosphere of the base, there was even less need to conceal it.
“By the way, have the Pangolin Beasts done anything unusual recently?”
Lin Feng looked at Lu Wei.
“No abnormalities. Recently, the Pangolin Beasts have been very calm. However, I heard that there’s trouble at the North Mountain Base.”
“What’s the trouble in the North Mountain Base?”
Just as Lin Feng was about to ask, a martial artist suddenly barged in from outside. He said anxiously, “Chief Commander, the North Mountain Base requests reinforcements urgently!”
“Reinforcements? Let me see.”
Hence, the martial artist respectfully handed the distress message to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng read the distress message carefully. Just as they were discussing the trouble at the North Mountain Base, the distress message from the North Mountain Base unexpectedly arrived.
